Hi everyone.
Im considering investing in the training to become a mobile technician.
Please correct me if I’m wrong but, as per the NCC website, to become aws certified you have to complete the following:
- Electrical Maintenance Online - Level 1 & 2
- STGW gas course
- Caravan/Motorcaravan Service Award
The NCC website appears very helpful by way of laying out what courses are needed to become an ‘approved workshop’. However, whilst they give good guidance for the gas & electric aspects they appear to offer no training on the actual caravan or chassis side.
The electrical & gas courses are fine - it’s the Caravan/Motorcaravan Service Award whereby they say it is only an assessment and not training. They do reference the syllabus, and I’ve found a 2018 one, but with the amount of checks (10 pages) I’d have expected some type of training to have been done.
I’ve also had a quick look at the MCEA website and gather that it is a 5 day course only but I’m unclear how it can be adequate when the NCC STGW gas course is 5 days alone but it does seem to be more hands on in relation to the actual caravan & chassis.
Now I am very hands on and nothing of the electrical or gas side would concern me nor would the checks & tests to the caravan/chassis (from the syllabus) but with the sheer amount of them it would be terribly difficult to memorise them all.
Can anyone offer further advice or guidance?
Thanks
